Re: FinderPop 2.2.4b6 BETA | Thrillseekers | Snow Leopard *ONLY*
Hmm. OK - I checked further, and found the trick - Its not you, it's me :

I have an ikey shortcut which brings Mail to the front and opens the message viewer window. To do the latter, because Mail is so nicely scriptable, the only trick I found is to simulate a menu selection, after getting Mail to the front. And guess what, Finderpop intercepts that action and takes it to be a click in the menubar !
The easy solution for me is to de-activate access to FP through the menubar, which I rarely use anyway.

Thanks for listening, and back to work !

Hi Turly,
Great ! But I think the "shortcuts bugs" is striking again !
(see viewtopic.php?f=3&t=43&p=184#p184)

All the best,
Alain

Re: FinderPop 2.2.4b4 BETA | Thrillseekers | Snow Leopard *ONLY*
There is a weird thing happening when using any of the bash finderpop extensions.
When applied to a single object (file/folder), the path to the object is correctly transmitted to the script; when applied to a multiple selection, it seems that the first item of the selection is lost.
Here is a simple demo script:
#!/bin/bash
echo $# $1 >>~/Desktop/log.txt


I am guessing that it is a bug in the way finderpop builds up the selection list.
It was already present in b3

Best regards, and merry christmas all !

Hi :

Brilliant !
Really great to have FP at the right finger again !

There seems to be some interference with some keyboard shortcuts that I use (through iKey).
For instance i use ctrl-alt-cmd-M to get new mail and activate Mail.app. With FP installed, it opens
FP's recent application menu. This happens often, but not always.
I couldn't find ctrl-alt-cmd-M as a kb shortcut in FP ?
Thanks anyway,
Alain

Recent files/folders
Hi,

My One And Only Wish : an access to the finder's recent files /recent folders lists within the FP menu.
I hate to have to go to the menu each time I want to reopen a closed folder window...

Thanks,
Alain
